Is there any equivalent linux application to Preview on Mac OSX?
By this I mean that it lets you view, but not necessarily edit many different file types from things such as documents to photos.

Are you thinking of Quick Look instead? Just curious.– UndoApr 2, 2014 at 13:14

Nope, definitely preview.– AutumnalApr 2, 2014 at 14:25

1Does it have to be a single application, or can it be a way to launch a format-specific application? Is the lack of editing features important? You need to tell us more precisely what you want, and also explain why you want it — tell us your story. See our tips on writing good questions.– Gilles 'SO- stop being evil'Apr 2, 2014 at 16:44

I mean one application that can open and view lots of different types of files, as I often need to quickly look at lots of different file types. It doesn't need to be able to edit them, but this functionality would not be a problem. By different types of files, I mean PDFs, as many different types of picture as possible, but also microsoft office formats.– AutumnalApr 2, 2014 at 17:59
